I met Wayne when I was serving in the British Army at Fort Lewis. He, and Elaine, graciously welcomed me into their home and made me feel at home. I enjoyed many fishing trips with him and we kept in touch for a few years, but sadly we lost touch. I have very fond memories of my time at Tacoma and am very saddened to learn of his passing. Love to his family - [email protected]
Well, Dad it's 4th of July and again you're not here. I remember how much you loved watching the fireworks. When you couldn't (or wouldn't LOL) go to the Tacoma Tide Flats anymore to watch them, you received sometimes a better view out your front window on Tacoma Avenue. When your health got worse and we moved you to Forks you weren't much interested in them anymore. It was uncomfortable for you to sit in anything but your recliner and we really couldn't move that big thing outside so you were content in just sitting there reading. I miss you so much. There were very big and pretty fireworks for you to see tonight. I know you were probably up there sitting in a favorite chair enjoying the view.
Good night Dad.
I love you. 7/4/11##imported-begin##Debby##imported-end##
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD!!!!
I miss you so much. Kathy and I are going to send some balloons up your way today. We will let them go at the same time. I'll send a little message with it.
I so wish I could tell you in person and give you a great big hug.
We're still working on the house. I layed some tile in the entry way yesterday. See....I did learn some things from you. Looks pretty good.
I love you so much. Mom and I will be down again pretty soon to give you some flowers.

5/25/11 - Good morning Dad
Just wanted to wish you a very, very Happy Birthday. You would have been 84 today. I can't believe you have been gone for 2 years. It seems just like yesterday. I miss you so much and wish that I could hear you say I love you again. I hear and see you in my mind everyday. I guess memories are a good thing but it really doesn't help the emptiness I feel. I wouldn't want you back the way you were. I know in my heart that all the confusion and aches are gone now but I still miss you. Mom and I are going to come visit you this week. We will be giving you some balloons and flowers. Hey!! Planted some veggies last weekend. I so need some advice from you. Hope they do ok. Look down on me and help me along okay.
Love,
Your Debby##imported-begin##Debby##imported-end##
Hi Dad,
Just wanted to let you know that Mom and I visited you this past weekend (11/13/10). We put some beautiful flowers down for you. I miss you so much and wish you were still here. Mom is doing fine. John and Kayla are still with her. She hates being along and she enjoys their company so much. Thank you so much for visiting there once in a while. As you know Mom can't bend down to pick anything up so thank you for helping her pick up a pair of scissors that she dropped and setting them on the table. Kayla thinks that you are her guardian angel as you have appeared to her several times. Wishing that I could see you, too. I really need for you to tell me that you are okay. I replay the night you left us over and over again in my mind. I was so sad to see you go, but I know that you are in a better place.
I love you so much and think about you every day.
Love,

Happy Father's Dad. I miss you so much. Hope you will forgive me because I forgot to send you balloons today. I was so sad. Have so much going on here. Getting the remodeling done on the house. Frank is doing a wonderful job. I even tiled our hearth. I know you would be proud. See, I DID learn some tile setting techniques from ya. Dad, I miss you so much. So wishing I could have seen you today to give you some candy and a card. I realize you are not sick any longer and I wouldn't want you back the way you were, but I do miss you. I love you so much. Mom is doing ok. We keep pretty good tabs on her. Will get down to give you flowers and balloons pretty soon. Maybe in the next couple of week okay? 6/20/10##imported-begin##Debby##imported-end##
Merry Christmas Dad. We sent you balloons with notes attached again for you. Hope you can read them. I still miss you so much. Sometimes it's hard, but I understand.....you're in a better place. Mom is doing good. We are here for her and she knows it. John is staying with her for now. She needs the company and he is a great help for her. I love you so much. I look at your pictures often in hopes, I guess, to find some peace inside me. Sweet dreams, Dad. I will talk with you soon.

I still miss you so very much Dad. I think of you everyday. Nan is still staying with Mom. She has her 2 bassets with her. Mom just adores them as I'm sure you would have 2. They are keeping her company. Tracy-nickers is having shoulder surgery Friday. She's scared. I keep telling her everything's going to be fine. Please look down on her and keep her company as she goes through this okay? I'm going to scoot for now. Going to go see Mom. I love you Dad and hope you can hear me say that to you everyday.##imported-begin##Debby##imported-end##
